Definition of travel.

When I say travel, I don't mean a relaxing vacation or a resort. travelings true definition according to google is to make a journey, typically of some length. if your final destination is in and around your hotel resort, that is no great length at all. To truly immerse yourself into an authentic experience you must first step outside of the commercial travel zone and embrace the beaten track. Go completely out of your comfort zone, for without taking risks we do not learn to be brave - and this is what travel is all about: The freedom to break the boundaries of conformity, to learn and grow with every risk we take so that every journey we make from then on is a memory to cherish far beyond any commercialised idea of the culture or the place we are trying to experience - because it is our OWN memory, our own idea of the place handed to us by locals, not tour guides. 
Backpackers are the most amazing, inspiring kinds of people you will ever meet. The energy a backpacker Carries is incredibly contagious. Your flame for travel may be but a spark in this big scary new world you've just arrived in with no tour guides,  but the moment you are in a room full of backpackers you will feel it, the enthusiasm, the joy, the freedom, it's a vibration that electrifies your soul that can never be extinguished once it has been ignited. this is your network, your community for first hand travel knowledge better than any tips or advice any travel agent could ever give you because they have just been there and they have just done that, and if they havnt yet then they want to hold your hand and journey across that road with you (just in case your not quite as fearless as you'd like)
